A Jackson Square neighborhood woman and her daughter were not injured earlier this month when shots were fired near her apartment building.

The 35-year-old resident of the Broadway apartments called police about 8:30 p.m. Dec. 21 and reported a man was outside of the complex shooting what she described at a “long gun.”

She told police that she heard a shot, looked out and saw a slender man dressed in black or dark blue and a hat or hoodie with a long gun pointed in the air. She reported she saw him walk toward the Alexander Inn when she heard another shot.

She reportedly pulled her daughter onto the floor when she heard a third shot. She looked out again and told police officer the man ran toward the tennis courts, where he fired one more shot.

Records said officers and a canine searched the area and found no evidence.
